Baby BeeHinds Magic All Multi Fit One Size Paw Print

Baby BeeHinds is100% Aussie owned company who strive to provide a diverse range of modern cloth nappies to Australian (and international) families. We like to ensure that our products are manufactured in an ethically sound manner each step of the way.

Our Bamboo Fleece inserts will take 8 + washes to reach maximum absorbency, so make sure you prewash your inserts 4-5 times as per our washing instructions or you can soak overnight. Just keep in mind they will reach their best absorbency after 8 + washes.

Snap your rise settings into place first, before stuffing the pockets with the inserts for best absorbency When using the smaller rise settings, fold the 'pinched' in front, upwards, not downwards for a cleaner, better fit.

Size Guide

Size Guide – The dimensions below are the minimum & maximum stretch in leg & waist elastics. We recommend using this size guide and check the measurements on your little one for accurate sizing.

How to measure for Cloth Nappy & Training Pants sizing

How to Measure the Rise – The rise measurement is the distance from the front waist through the crotch to the back waistline. To measure the rise for a nappy you should measure your baby or toddler over a nappy from the top of the nappy through the crotch to the back of the nappy (to top of elastics). To measure for a nappy measure your baby, without a nappy, from just below the belly button, or where the nappy would usually sit, through to the back waistline. You can use this to measure for fitted nappies, training pants, all-in-ones or pocket nappies.

How to Measure Waist – Waist measurements are measured at the natural waistline. When a nappy description gives an Xcm to Xcm measurement, the smallest measurement is with the nappy/training pant fastened on the smallest setting and the elastic relaxed. The largest measurement is with the nappy fastened on the largest setting and the elastic lightly stretched.How to Measure Legs – Measure diagonally from where the nappy or cover will sit on the outer thigh, through the inner thigh and back up. The settings apply as per waist measurements, smallest is with nappy or cover fastened on the smallest setting and largest on the largest setting. Firstly, check the weight range of your baby, then check the measurements from there. If you are still unsure about size, please give us a call on 02 4976 2729 and we are more than happy to help you out!

Cleaning Recommendations from Baby BeeHinds

September 18, 2017

Ok so firstly, if your washing routine is working for you & you have clean nappies with no smells, then DO NOT CHANGE A THING! … We get asked so often ‘what detergent is safe to use on cloth nappies’ & if you ask different brands you will probably get different answers. We have complied an updated list of both mainstream & eco friendly detergents to satisfy both camps. There is no judgement what ever camp your’e in … Our aim is to increase awareness & get bums in cloth so making the washing accessible and easy for everyone has made us re-think our recommendations over the last few months and we have looked at plenty of research, talked to lots of customers & other industry manufacturers to ensure we are really giving you the best information possible. So whether you are on the eco journey or prefer mainstream detergents, this article isn’t intended to sway you one way or another simply to give you some good options to choose from if you are starting out or need to tweak your routine. Personally for my cloth nappies, I always preferred the eco option of Rockin Green & still use it to this day for my general clothes washing too.

Recommended: Eco/Plant based Detergents

My all time favourite plant based detergent would have to be Rockin Green Classic Rock. I have used this on my nappies over 2 babies, with a either a 40 or 60 degree long, intensive wash every time & have clean white inner nappies still so I highly recommend this detergent. These recommended eco-detergents come from our personal & customer experiences using them. They are ranked in no particular order, and you can find some tips to get the best out of your eco-detergents down below. These are in our opinion the best of the Eco/plant based options and by all means there are other options available, but this is a good starting point. None of these contain optical brighteners or nasties, some contain enzymes as mentioned.

Rockin Green Classic Rock (Powder, Vegan)

Rockin Green Hard Rock ( Formulated for Hard Water, Vegan)

Rockin Green Liquid Detergent (Vegan, contains Enzymes)

Abode Powder & Liquid (contains Enzymes)

Bositios

Eco Store Powders

Gumnut Clean Liquid Detergent

Amway SA8 (contains Enzymes)

To get the best results out of your eco/plant based detergents we recommend washing on warm/hot (max 60 degrees) every time. Start with the recommended amount of detergent on the packaging, and you may need to increase the dosage if you find it does not leave you with clean smelling nappies after each wash. Eco/plant based detergents are a fantastic way to go, you may just need to tweak the temperature or dosage amount to get it working perfectly for you.

Recommended: Main stream detergents

Traditionally we have not recommended using main stream detergents due to the majority of them containing optical brighteners, enzymes and other chemicals however our aim is to keep it simple for new parents entering the world of cloth nappies. Some parents prefer a eco/plant based option, some prefer main stream detergents … its really up to you. As long as what ever you choose works for you & results in clean nappies then job done. Don’t over think it. Just do it. Below you will find our recommended main stream detergents available easily from supermarkets. Again, use the recommended dose on the packing, warm, long cycle.

OMO (All Types)

Radiant (Powder & Liquid)

Trimat Advanced

Biozet Attack (Powder)

Surf 2 in 1

Dynamo Professional

Duo Sensitive

Norwex Ultra Power

Modere

** On a side note, previously we have recommended using detergents that don’t contain enzymes or optical brighteners as some indications were that enzymes could break down natural fibres quicker and OB could be the cause of skin sensitivities. We have looked long & hard over a 12 month period at our detergent recommendations, plenty of research & we are confident in recommending main stream detergents that contain both enzymes & OBs. Enzymes are designed to help remove stains, eliminate fabric piling & increase whiteness & OBs are designed to make things whiter & brighter. … Hence you will see some options in the above eco/plant based list containing enzymes. In the eco/plant based list these are typically plant based enzymes. The majority of main stream detergents will contain enzymes & OBs, however they are 100% safe to use on your babies garments. Enzymes are designed to help remove stains, eliminate fabric piling & increase whiteness. Again, if the product you are using is working for you then don’t change a thing!

Key things to avoid in detergents: Home-made detergents, Fabric Softener & Chlorine Based Bleach product. Don’t. Go. There. Fabric softener can build up quickly on your nappy fabrics making absorption difficult & chlorine based bleach products can do serious damage to your PUL fabrics & elastics.
